Dominic Sherony and I had a huge mass of Snow Geese along the west side of Seybolt Road south of the airport in Seneca falls this afternoon. I counted several flocks joining those in the field by 20's and got 5000. They made no difference in the appearance of the flock when they landed. Easily 100M. they all flew toward the lake at around 3 pm when hunters shots went off in the woods. The Peregrine Falcon hunting Starlings at the nearby farm was a nice addition when he/she decided to fly through the goose masses.
A Snowy owl reported at Sodus point yesterday was still there this evening at the tip of the east pier. "Only" 32 Sandhill cranes standing on the ice at Knox-Marcellus marsh on the way through.
